By Rob Meronek, Posted on Monday, November 19, 2012

Those harsh drop ins you've all been complaining about on the northwest portion of the new street course are being replaced today. It's already looking better thanks to Big Al and The Ricky Burns Deal.

Shop expansion in 2003. What a decade since

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Thursday, November 1, 2012

Shop expansion in 2003. What a decade since. I'm looking forward to a few more.

The east side of the Shop today was the Snack Bar

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Thursday, November 1, 2012

The east side of the Shop today was the Snack Bar and lounge back in 2002. Things have grown a bit since then thanks to your support.

Back in 2002, we had not yet built our new offices

Back in 2002, we had not yet built our new offices right there in that spot where the vert ramp used to be.

Porpe is driving this truck and trailer

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Porpe is driving this truck and trailer to the dump today. Tomorrow, he's driving it full of skate rats from here to Texas for Make-A-Wish. Check back here soon for a full update from the completed course!

Ask Clem about them tight trannies

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Ask Clem about them tight trannies, like the one that almost made out with him in Key West. He'll be tight with this tranny here for sure.

This hip is going to birth everything from poop to

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

This hip is going to birth everything from flying poop such as double nut grabs and whatnot to super butteryness. Either way, good times. But yeah, kids are going to fly some straight doo doo off this thing I bet. Watch the trick selection, kids.

It's like the course has braces

It's like the course has braces. Wear your retainer, kid.

Course Construction - Concrete

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Yep, as you've seen on Insta, there's more concrete coming. Follow SPoT on Instagram and Twitter - @spottampa.

Course Construction - Moat Water Beer

Porpe has not been lucky enough to get the blue collar manual labor exclusion that I somehow managed to secure from day one. He's got the sawdust fighter gloves while swishing the new SPoT sauce.

This new a-frame reminds me that if you bring in a report card with all A's, you skate a session for free here at SPoT.

Course Construction - Baby Hubbas

A stance agnostic set of baby hubbas? Guaranteed crowd pleaser.

Course Construction - Recycling

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Looks like a bit of 2012 course recycling here.

Course Construction - Forklift

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

The only way I'd get in that thing is if there was a keyboard instead of a steering wheel and stick. Apparently, you need it to move heavy things or something.

Course Construction - Team Pain Killing It

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Team Pain is killing out there building the course. I just always happen to stop by when they're at lunch.

Brian Schaefer - course construction

By Rob Meronek, Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Brian doesn't get out of the trenches for long. Wether it's bussing your table at The Bricks, or moving your ramp lumber while huffing sawdust on a forklift at the Park, he's hands on. His hands show it. Nelly puts these Band-Aids on his face, Schaefer puts them on his blue collar hand blisters. After a long day of coding, I should put these Band-Aids on my fingers tips and look tough.

Course Demolition 2012

By Porpe, Posted on Thursday, October 25, 2012

After three long days this is what the course demolition looks like. The Team Pain crew is here, and they have already started building some new obstacles. I spy a quarterpipe hip and a pyramid being built. Can't wait to see what they come up with this year. We will keep you updated in the next few days.
